Anger after pervert set free from prison – despite being given potentially life-long sentence

A YOUTH given a potentially lifelong sentence for having sex with an under-age schoolgirl on his 18th birthday has been freed by top judges.

Dale David Michael Trim, now 25, had “consensual sex” with the 13-year-old in Poole Park after a party where they had both been drinking, the Appeal Court heard.

“They spent the rest of the night together at his bedsit,” said Lord Justice Laws.

Trim admitted unlawful sexual activity with the 13-year-old at Bournemouth Crown Court in October 2007, and was ordered to be detained indefinitely for public protection.

He had a previous conviction for indecently assaulting two little girls aged seven and eight when he was 13 years old.

And he was once described as a “predatory paedophile” in a psychiatrist’s report.

Trim was viewed as a “dangerous” offender, and the sentence – which was almost identical to a life term – meant he would only be freed once the Parole Board was convinced the threat he posed to society had passed.

The sentencing judge passed the tough sentence after telling Trim: “I have a nasty feeling that you have paedophile tendencies”.

But Lord Justice Laws said that assessment was “partly based on speculation” and noted that Trim, from Blandford, had made good progress during his six years in custody.

The judge, sitting with Mr Justice Globe and Judge Paul Batty QC, said Trim was now seen as presenting a “medium” risk of future harm and that could be managed in the community.

He overturned the indefinite sentence, substituting a two-year community order and strict supervision requirement, with conditions that “he should live as directed by the probation service”.

Am I not right in saying that as a 13 year old, you are legally not considered old enough to give consent, is that not the case?

If it is, then surely whether she went along with it or not, that wouldn't count as consent?

Either way you have to wonder why the hell a 13 year old girl was allowed out boozing at a party and then stayed the night with someone...

A photo of him should be put up in the locality. It should be made law that any sex offenders that are convicted should have their photos made public on all lamp posts and there should be a central information area that we can all access so we can keep our kids safe!

Once a paedophile always a paedophile, these judges need to get their heads out of their arses and realise thet fact.

I wonder if Lord Justice Laws would take him in and let him have access to his children/grandchildr
en. That would show how confident he is that this scum won't do this again

It really makes you want to fecking scream does it not, for once you have a judge who had the balls to do whats in the interest of the public and then someone else gets conned into releasing this pervert into the community.We have enough of these wandering around thanks to our local soft touch judge and only recently we learned that a he/she managed to download child **** under supervision so it does not really inspire us to have confidence in the system when handling this type of crime

Hey world, this is the UK. Paedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves, whether home grown or imported, are welcome. If you get caught...don't worry, you'll serve way way less than your sentence, as our judicial system is prejudice on the side of the criminal.
This country makes me sick.
